Chapter 1
Arabella Byrne was the pride of the whole family.
But on my birthday, she became a vegetable because of me.
My mom, Helga Carman, said I was a troublemaker and cursed me to die.
Even the person I had a crush on, Johnny Kinsey, hated me.
He said to me, “You can never wash away the sins on you. Every second I spend with you makes me sick.”
They tortured me for five years.
When the truth came to light, Johnny held me and said over and over again, “I’m sorry. I love you. Don’t leave me.”
But I couldn’t remember who he was.
They regretted it deeply. But by that time, I could no longer enjoy their belated love.
Today was my birthday, but I received a diagnosis report.
I was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
At first, I was reluctant to accept it. After all, I was still so young.
But when I saw the sympathetic look in the doctor’s eyes, I realized that this was true.
The doctor hoped that I could tell my family about it and discuss my treatment plans together.
I picked up my phone and scrolled down the contact list for a long time. There were many contacts, but I couldn’t find a
suitable one to contact.
Seeing that I hadn’t called my family for a long time, the doctor thought I was afraid of worrying them.
So, he persuaded me, saying, “Young girl, if you want to be treated, you need your family’s help. It’s still in the early stage
now, and you’ll begin to forget things. In the middle stage, you’ll have hallucinations and delusions. And when it’s in the late
stage, you’ll be unable to take care of yourself. You need the help and care of your family. Why not make a phone call to your family? You’re sick now, and you need help.”
I forced a bitter smile.
Then I said to the doctor, “Please give me a treatment plan. I can handle it myself. I don’t necessarily need my family’s help. I’ll come for treatment in a few days.”
After saying that, I hurriedly left, not wanting the doctor to see my embarrassed
state.
I had been alone for five years.
Five years ago today, my beautiful and gentle sister, Arabella, coldly rebuked our cousin, Connie Carman, because of
Connie’s contempt for me.
Connie got unhappy and had a dispute with
Arabella.
I watched helplessly as Connie showed a malicious and hateful expression and forcefully pushed Arabella down the stairs before hastily fleeing.
Arabella fell to the ground, hitting the back of her head and bleeding.
Today was my birthday. A few months ago, I asked Arabella, who was studying for a PhD at a prestigious university in Germany, to quickly complete her research paper on Alzheimer’s disease and come back to celebrate my birthday with me.
However, Arabella, who was just gently caressing my cheek, fell in front of my parents. Their faces were stained with Arabella’s blood.
My dad, Aleck Byrne, collapsed to the ground instantly and couldn’t get up.
Johnny stood still in shock.
I crawled down the stairs, wanting to check
on Aleck and Arabella.
At the same time, my mom, Helga, kept screaming in shock. In the midst of the chaos, I heard Connie’s panicked voice.
“It was Lena! She pushed Arabella. I saw it!”
It came as no surprise that everyone believed Connie’s words, including Johnny.
After all, I had always been a stubborn and willful person since I was a child.
Outside the emergency room, I knelt and begged Helga to believe me.
But Helga only sat limply on the side, glaring at me with eyes full of hatred. She didn’t say a word.
I kept telling about Connie’s misdeeds, but the only result I got was a harsh kick from my uncle. Falling to the ground, I felt so much pain and couldn’t get up for a
moment.
My uncle snapped at me, “You have done. many evil things, yet you still want to shift
the blame onto Connie!”
When the doctor told us that Arabella had become a vegetable, Helga seemed to have finally come back to her senses. Then, she started punching and kicking me relentlessly.
Johnny looked at the farce in front of him with a complex expression on his face, but he remained indifferent.
He didn’t move until Arabella was pushed out of the operating room. Everyone followed to Arabella’s ward.
I was lying on the ground like a dog, unable to get up.
I could only raise my head and look at Johnny’s back with pleading eyes, hoping he would turn around and look at me.
However, he walked away without even looking back.
I didn’t expect that Johnny wouldn’t believe me either.
I knew Johnny treated Arabella as his family with sincerity.
After all, Arabella was so gentle and perfect.
I understood that this once happy and complete family had fallen apart from this
moment on.
If time could go back, I would never be willful again.
